This is an excellent shop, where the staff are first class as well as the service. They also support the NMRA, which is pleasing to know. They will get anything out of the Walthers gatalogue for you, even if it means going out of their way. They will spend time to chat, which any storeowner should do. the staff know enough about their products, and will help you immediately. For the size of shop (normal attatched house on a small lane) the rabge of items is excellent and the layout of the shop is shockingly impressive. They will allow you to look at any of the boxed locos/freight cars/passenger cars, but for obvious reasons the vehicles cannot be opened as they are blister packed. the exchange & returns policy is excellent as well, and they will encourage the younger modellers extremely well (i am a prime example of this, being 14 and they are one of the reasons i got into model trains.) They are one of the best shops around and are definitely worth taking a look at if you are into American model trains. (10/10)

An excellent range of American outline stock, mainly in Ho and including "consignment" brass models; they will order anything from Walthers catalogues. Only open three days a week. Staff offer tea and coffee to visitors.
